“I’m into earth tones, birth stones, and erogenous zones”

Just Like Water | Lauryn Hill

what they say: “you’re too much of a good thing, a great thing. too real, too intelligent, too passionate, too much.”

what I hear: “I’m afraid”

on the wood of the porch
I sat, enveloped by uahi and silence
when suddenly, out of the long & dark nothingness
her water broke from the sky (rather loudly) all around me. drops of ua on me.
she forced me to watch, hear, feel her sobs while she gave her hā to life.
then she left me here, alone, to learn what she means — aloha ‘āina
to know of the love exchanged between Papa & Wākea
of the ‘alohi in the afterbirth — a wet newborn day
the passion of the moistened air, embracing
a lush, quenched, & gracious earth

“The Earth would die,

if the Sun stopped kissing her.” — Hafez
